Most excellent! I did put off listening. The history is excellent, even if played with timeline. The music just underscores the story, the music is not the point. Very human story of everyone.

Groundbreaking. Unchains the boundaries of your usual Broadway play. Lin-Manual Miranda took a risky turn, especially considering that the category of Musicals are filled with vibrato and strings. No, no, no. Hamilton prefers to go…

The story of one of America's founding fathers, Alexander Hamilton, told mainly through a hip-hop inspired soundtrack, and performed by a mainly non-white ensemble. An incredible soundtrack for a groundbreaking musical. Warning: songs will…

If you can't go out and see Hamilton live, this album will at least have you dancing in your house and learning something about American history at the same time. SO catchy - a cultural phenomenon for a reason!

The stage performance was mesmerizing. I wish I would have listened to these CDs before I went. Part of the amazement is that the unusual musical presentation really worked to energize the historical retelling. So much was included that…

I don't get it. To be fair, I've never seen a production of Lin-Manuel Miranda's show, which debuted on Broadway in 2015 and has gone on to become the musical of our time, as well as introducing millions of white people to hip-hop. As…

Hamilton is an eye-opener. I used to hate all forms of rap, but now, I am slowly growing to enjoy it. Each song was truly unique in its own way, and just listening to the entire track wasn't satisfying enough. I will definitely be buying…

Awful. I listened to this so I could comment intelligently on the music. It is rap, very forgettable rap. After I turned off the CD, I could not hum, recall or sing part of any of the songs. Completely forgettable. …

This was so fantastic! I loved it! Nothing like seeing it in person, i'm sure--but the music was ingenious and so catchy! I have never heard the life of Alexander Hamilton before, but i sure won't forget it!

This is literally the best musical I have ever heard. Everyone should listen to this musical. If you'e not into musicals, fine. But at least you can listen to a few tracks and agknowlge the beauty and work that is Hamilton.

I used to hate Hamilton. I tried listening to it one day and after one song, I turned it off. A few months later I tried listening again. I soon fell in love with it, and listened to it every night while I did my homework. The music speaks…

I put off listening to this for a while. I have so many friends who LOVE it, on top of all the popular and critical acclaim, plus all the awards, I felt too pressured to LOVE it. What if I listened to it and thought it was only okay? Meh?…

Somehow managing to be challenging, dramatic, funny, interesting, patriotic, reflective, touching, and more all at once, the musical sensation seems to have drowned in hype but just about every word is earned. This look at the life and…

Is this the greatest American musical of all time? Very possibly. It lives up to all the hype and then some. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

I am still listening to the Hamilton Broadway CD. I have tickets to see the play in October, 2017 and decided to give a listen to the original Broadway musical CD. I haven'[t stopped listening to this music yet. What great lyrics/…

I absolutely love this Musical! I have listened to it over and over again and never get tired of it. The 1st Act is magnificent. The 2nd Act I found to be a bit depressing but lives are like that sometimes... I highly recommend giving…

As someone who doesn't usually like or listen to rap music I was surprised to find how much I love listening to this musical! It's very current and refreshing and everyone is downright talented! I highly encourage you to listen to this…

I am incredibly impressed with this musical. In fact, I love it. An instant favorite. I've a read a few of the reviews by conservatives who seem threatened by the story. I have to say, as a conservative myself, I find nothing threatening…

Wait.. Wait. I have a intelligent idea. I will gather up the washed out 80's rock stars and create an contemporary rock opera about life and times of Andrew Jackson; the great American hero. Watch the liberals gather up and pay…

Hamilton: An American Musical is a fantastic musical written by and starring Lin-Manuel Miranda. With unique and excellent choices of hip-hop, pop, rap, and the occasional love ballad, Hamilton makes excellent use of its musical genres.…
